Life's Unfair Incidence

In unfair dismissal cases, the first hurdle for an employer is to show good reason for his decision to fire his employer. Section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 ("ERA") sets out the rights available to them, such as the employer's conduct or rights. is listed as "may be the only reason for dismissal", then the dismissal will be considered unfair and the plaintiff succeeds.


 We can see that the process of evaluating the cause of dismissal can be an important moment in cases of injustice, in particular. in light of the lax standard of review - in the form of a fair review - which follows. Despite the important role of the assessment of the reasons for the employee's dismissal can performed, scientific and judicial attention is paid to the definition of this process and its issues.


Although the law against unfair dismissal was intended to curb management prerogatives, the current interpretation of section 98 (1) - (2) has failed to impose real restrictions on employers at this crucial stage. Both the listed reasons, such as the conduct and the general category of "some other substantive reason" being of such a nature as to justify termination have been interpreted broadly, excluding only the most trivial reasons. The investigation into the employer's motive is therefore very short. The requirement to file a just cause for a fair work resignation letter, protected as an aspect of a person's fundamental right not to be unfairly dismissed, is practically non-existent. In particular, difficulties have been reported in relation to economic layoffs or “near layoffs”, 


 which are currently considered under the broad banner of “some other substantive reason” for a layoff. Economic layoffs are an area of ​​labor law that risks being of unfortunate importance as the UK enters a recession due to the global COVID-19.6 pandemic
